[TTT] NVIDIA’s Latest Driver Adds Telemetry – How to Disable It

It’s been brought to my attention that nVIDIA now has telemetry included with its drivers if you installed GeForce Experience with the drivers. It is not clear if it is just included with the GeForce Experience package but there are many other services that are included that are really not needed for most users.

First, let’s go over what these unnecessary services are.

Telemetry is essentially considered spying by many as it is a way to send data back and forth. It’s nowhere near that simple, but we’d like to know what it’s doing in our video drivers when it’s never been needed before.

The easiest way to check for, and disable these is to download Microsoft Autoruns. Autoruns is portable, so no installation is needed. Download it and unzip Autoruns.zip into its own folder and double click Autoruns.exe or Autoruns64.exe.
